| As someone that works on Rails projects almost all of the time, no, for a few different reasons. 1. Coda (1+2) are geared towards one file = one file output to preview. Obviously Rails doesn't work this way. 2. Starting a project from the CLI, I often open it in Sublime 2, TM, etc from the same window. I don't see the value of adding all my settings for project folders, remote servers and git details a second time in Coda, when they're all in the folder already. I deploy everything on Heroku and store them on Github. 3. Haml, Scss and Coffeescript largely eliminate the need for validation. If your code is wrong, they won't compile it. 4. Keyboard Shortcuts. I use Sublime on a MBA without a mouse or trackpad most of the time. I much prefer working through shortcuts than I do by clicking on stuff, which the majority of the Coda UI is geared towards. 5. Quick Open/Peepopen. I saw nothing about Coda 2 having this. It's absolutely necessary IMO. All text editors should follow the same behaviour as Peepopen, something that Chocolat doesn't do (but it should). Coda is a great editor for designers and for lightweight PHP devs, but I don't see it's value for people who spend all day looking at code. |
